Follow up Hearing Test
After a baseline hearing test, employees may request in writing for yearly follow-up hearing tests from their employer. Employers are advised to offer routine audiometric testing to monitor any changes in hearing loss and reduce the likelihood of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) compensation claims, even if subsequent tests are only required when requested by a worker. If the follow up test reveal that the employee has a hearing loss greater than 10%, Enhance hearing will notify both the employee and employer. A full comprehensive test would be required to determine if the employee is qualified for a Noise Induced Hearing loss (NIHL) compensation from the employer.
